[@user-qh5tf8yd2y]

How have I never seen this brilliant technique for using the cut offs from snowballs?! Thanks for teaching this old dog a new trick. :)

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SewWhittle]

A ton of KZbin quilters have been posting it recently. Not sure anyone else knew this trick either. Haha

[@karenwood7393]

This would make a great baby quilt with pictures in the middle. Another great idea. Thank you

[@jomercer21113]

Don't worry about being "unconventional"--that's how creativity and innovation happen! Gorgeous result!

[@revelationquilts]

Yes! Thank you!😊

[@joyharper89]

I wish I had seen this a year ago! What a unique way of showing off your "too pretty" fabrics!!

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Yasha4life]

IKR 😊

[@helenwilliams7112]

What a wonderful way to save your fabric that's too pretty to cut! Thank you so much for your clear directions! Blessings to you & thanks again for sharing your ideas.

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome! It's my pleasure!

[@Yasha4life]

You read my mind… I absolutely love this tutorial. I love that it’s non-conventional traditional whichever word we want to use. You are my hero!

[@revelationquilts]

LOL- thank you. I seem to have misplaced my cape. 🦸‍♀️

[@Yasha4life]

@@revelationquilts well, I’ll just have to use his quilt pattern and make you one… Lol

[@stephaniesinden145]

Ingenious corner treatment. I generally avoid snowball corners but yours have that extra pizzazz. And the hourglass cornerstones are the perfect way to use all the cutoffs!

[@carolynbrookter3231]

Beautiful; simply beautiful and elegant.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you so much!😊

[@DianaForee]

What an amazing idea! using the cut offs with no waste!

[@revelationquilts]

I'm very glad you like it!

[@raeannarandall9970]

Love the quilt. It's a great way to use all the fabric .😊

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! I think so too!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Another winner, Suze! I just came up with a little hack the other day for marking lines in the back of fabric. I like using a regular mechanical pencil but the one is very light and I usually have to draw the line two or three times. The other day I put in a 2B or 4B lead, which is softer than the conventional lead for a mechanical pencil. The softer lead makes a much more visible line with a single stroke! I imagine a 2B or 4B pencil (from the art supply store) would work the same way! I ordered my softer leads from Dick Blick in the US.

[@revelationquilts]

Brilliant idea!

[@juliekoone3569]

Absolutely amazing, love your channel and this technique ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@LynnNexus]

This.... Is a brilliant technique. I genuinely was awed when I saw what you were planning on doing. Also I frequently find myself frustrated when watching quilters because of the amount of little corners of fabric that get thrown away. I love that you intentionally use the corners, not just in the base block but then even the little leftovers from the second cut of the block too. Thoroughly impressed.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you for the encouraging words!

[@cherieseward9868]

I love this So glad I watched and you shared ❤️❤️cherie

[@revelationquilts]

Thanks so much😊

[@debraholmes6290]

Beautiful quilt ‼️Love this technique and hardly any fabric waste!! Thank you!😊💕

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@NanaKathy47]

I have been looking for a pattern for months that would let me keep some of a favorite layer cake as 10" whole squares. This pattern is perfect. Thanks for sharing such a fun, useful, almost no waste idea.

[@revelationquilts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Love2Listen0304]

This is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@ksharpe8137]

I don’t like pinked edges either. One reason I like buying precuts from Jordan Fabrics. Great video! Gonna shop my huge stash and get started ❤

[@revelationquilts]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@evelynwerker9402]

This is such a beautiful quilt thank you for the video

[@revelationquilts]

You’re welcome 😊

[@kailee5694]

Very nice. I can see this snowballing all of the layer cake and using a contrast as the sashing . I just like larger quilts.

[@revelationquilts]

Me too, but for the sake of tutorials, it makes better sense timewise to make smaller quilts. You can always make any quilt as big as you wish.

[@gerryivkovich1857]

So clever and beautiful! Thanks for sharing and be blessed.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindaladner4949]

What a fabulous idea! I have several layer cakes that will be wonderful for this ingenious design. Thank you!

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@esperansaloughran693]

Great for non-convention! There ..... is where the magic happens everytime! Thankyou! You always amaze me!

[@revelationquilts]

Wow, thank you!

Luv this!!! I have a few layer cakes that needed a great design/block. Tks for sharing.

[@revelationquilts]

Great! Sometimes it's hard to find designs that show them off.

[@caseyjones1794]

Love this pattern! I made the first row and can't stop looking at it! My blocks were about 9.75 and my corner stone squares wound up being 2.25. I am sure I didn't do something right. Thank you for this lovely block pattern!

[@revelationquilts]

Mine were just shy of 10" but they are all consistent. I promise it will work out. I'd love to see the results!

[@yolandalins4195]

This is so beautiful I can’t Wait to make It

[@revelationquilts]

Enjoy!

[@marionbarber984]

Wow! What a great way to add interest! At first I thought you were going to add the last half square triangle! That would look cool too! Maybe as a paper pieced element. Hmm, there's an idea for me to try. Thank you!

[@revelationquilts]

I seriously thought about doing that. I'll bet it would add a whole new dimension!

[@brendamerrill1692]

That is truly awesome…..I love it!❤❤❤

[@revelationquilts]

I'm so glad!

[@zormier2002]

I love this pattern. It is beautiful

[@juliamedina1214]

😮😮😊😊😊!!! This is fabulous. Very cool

[@bettyechapman3053]

I love this.

[@trinettebrewer4838]

What a great tutorial ! Another idea to do that second line is to run another piece of diagonal seam tape right to the left of the piece you already have...and then you can use that to measure the 1/2" I love diagonal seam tape. Thanks!

[@revelationquilts]

Great Idea!

[@1cpamom-]

I love skinny strips in blocks and in borders, but your technique 'takes the cake ' 😉. Taking border suggestions? One of my fav borders is to 1. railroad 3 sets of 10x2.5" strips, 2. add a contrasting 1" skinny strip next to two of the railroaded strips, 3. sew the 3 railroaded strips side by side making the contrasting fabrics two skinny .25" inserts by aligning left side of my presser foot against the first seam as you do here, 4. miter the constructed border onto your quilt so that the 2 inset skinny strips create 2 square frames for your quilt. Hope I'm clear enough to follow! Love love this quilt!!!!!!

[@revelationquilts]

Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@karenweiman8036]

Love this!

[@sheann283]

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I watched this video (the second one) this morning. This is beautiful to me. I love how it displays the beautiful colors and prints used by you. I have never bought any of Mat's hand cuts; because, I have been disappointed by some of the charm packs I have bought at the local quilt shops here. I usually cut fabric from my own stash (when I am having a pain free day). The lines and colors in your quilt top are so interesting to me. You had very little wasted fabric in this project. Thank you.

[@revelationquilts]

You are so welcome! Much Love!

[@compusword8006]

Glad you posted this. I am a technique junkie so this block has my name all over it. Thank you! Liz in Houston

You're welcome Liz! Much Love

[@Yasha4life]

I had to use fabric and cut my layer, cakes and charm squares. I’ve got half of my pieces cut up! You have no idea how many times I have watched this video. I’m making this quilt for my mom for Christmas. She’s like my best. Everything in the whole world and I really want to make her proud.

[@revelationquilts]

It will look amazing! Your momma will love it!

[@Yasha4life]

@@revelationquilts these double snowballs are a lot more work than I thought. For my first quilt, I have bit off a lot! But I’m not gonna give up.
